The Rural Refugee Network community enjoys and depends upon a series of events each year. We will be really appreciative of volunteers to organise and support each event.
RRN will be celebrating it’s 10-year anniversary next year – More to come!
The Big June Cake Sale – RRN is kindly invited to hold a Cake Sale at Lordington House every June. This is a wonderful opportunity to visit a beautiful country garden and results in some fascinating conversations and connections, and much-needed funds. We need volunteers to bake the cakes over half a day or join us, to sell, talk about us or buy a cake or two. Please contact Kay via fundraising@ruralrefugeenetwork.org if you can help.
We are also looking for volunteers to lead on the following:
You Decide – we welcome volunteers with great fundraising ideas. Are you celebrating a big life event? Are you a musician, athlete or artist who can use an opportunity to raise awareness and funds? As Captain Bob proved, you don’t need to climb Everest, but people do respond to challenges of all kinds. We can offer advice and publicity to help you to manage your activity, based upon over 30 years of fundraising experience.
December – to organise a Christmas Collection in Petersfield or Alton. We will need permission from a venue, collection tins, a RRN display and people to collect the donations. Please contact Andy on housing@ruralrefugeenetwork.org if this could be you.
Opportunities for Petersfield businesses – Could your local business be part of our community? We would love to build long term or one-off partnerships with organisations who share our values and want to make a lasting, practical difference to families rebuilding their lives in East Hampshire. If you own, work for, or know someone who owns a business that could put its name to our work we would be pleased to meet up and discuss how this could work.
